An accident involving a semi-truck or tractor trailer is usually much more serious than a typical car accident. These vehicles can weigh more than 25 times more than your typical automobile and the amount of damage that they can cause is tremendous. In many ways, a semi-truck that is operated carelessly is a dangerous weapon ready to inflict enormous harm.
Because of this, drivers of tractor-trailers are subject to a different set of safety rules than other drivers on the road. Many states have their own sets of rules and regulations, and nationally the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) impose very detailed restrictions and rules to protect motorists. These rules regulate everything from the training required for commercial vehicle drivers and limits in how many hours drivers can operate these vehicles to special rules-of-the-road that must be followed.
A thorough knowledge of these requirements and how they apply to a semi-truck accident is critical to make sure an injury victim’s legal rights are protected. Our legal team is experienced in these cases and has successfully fought to recover money against some of the largest semi-truck companies in the world.
In our experience, it is incredibly important that a person hit by a semi-truck obtains legal representation as soon as possible. This is important for many reasons, but one of the most important is to preserve evidence. Many commercial vehicles have “black box” data tracking computers that are very important to truck accident lawyers in obtaining recovery. There are also often on-board cameras on these vehicles which may have a video recording of the accident. However, if a lawyer does not act quickly to preserve this evidence, it may be destroyed, making it much harder to recover for a truck accident injury.
In minutes, we can immediately evaluate your case, 24 hours a day and are often able to start work to protect your rights within an hour of you contacting us.
Don is a founding partner and one of the nation’s top-ranked personal injury litigators. He is a member of the Multi-million Dollar Advocates Forum, which includes less than 1% of the nation’s trial lawyers, and awarded the highest ranking given by Martindale Hubbel and AVVO.
More importantly, Don understands representing personal injury victims is about more than recovering the best settlement: it’s about helping clients get back on their feet and supporting them in every aspect of their recovery.
In nearly all cases, our clients seek compensation from the wrongdoer’s insurance company. Before forming Wruck Paupore, Jason worked for a prominent law firm representing some of the world’s largest insurers. This experience gives Jason a deep understanding of the insurance industry and the strategies it uses to pay injury victims as little as possible.
Jason -- and our entire team -- put this inside knowledge to work to force insurance companies to pay what is actually owed. Often, we use the insurance company’s own tactics against them as we fight for the full compensation our client deserves.
For more than four decades, Keith has been fighting for injury victims. During that time, he’s watched the insurance industry change, with insurers now more interested in protecting their stock price than treating injury victims fairly.
Since the beginning, Keith has put people first. From his childhood in Gary, Indiana during the 1960’s and working his way through law school, Keith has risen to become one of the Midwest’s most respected trial lawyers. He has never forgotten that being a lawyer is about helping people -- and seeing injury victims through struggles in a way that could change their lives forever.
Over the decades, Keith, Don and Jason have fought relentlessly for clients, even when other lawyers have said the case was impossible to win.
